Cool Press: KillerStartups thinks we're Killer

The folks over at KillerStartups.com recently covered us in a nice little blurb.

Here's one cool line they had:
"It’s something that everyone should try at least once, as it will make the person receiving the card feel extra special. "

Though we've never heard of KillerStartups before, they seem to do a great job spreading the word.. heck, they even they even twittered about us!

If you wonder how groupcard works....

We've had numerous requests from people who were curious about what happens behind the scenes at GroupCard........

Cool Press: PC Mag picks GroupCard as top 100 website of 2008

GroupCard was just selected as a "top website of 2008" as a top "undiscovered" site. Hopefully we won't be "undiscovered" for long!

"Group Card lets a group of people sign and send a free e-card, which works well for sharing a card with officemates, friends, or family members. The selection isn't much better than what you'd find in the card aisle at your local drugstore, but anything that saves us from spending $5 on a paper card is great with us. "

PCMag's list has some real gems, including our friends at animoto, and some totally hillarious time-pass websites. Highly recommend grabbing a cup of coffee and checking them out!

Special thanks to our friends at PorterNoveli for helping us apply!

Families use GroupCard to Organize Group Gifts to Coaches and Teachers

As school concludes and summer activities heat up, we’re excited to see parents and athletes starting to use GroupCard to thank their teachers and coaches.

Susie Toussaint, a super-involved mom, started a card for her son’s baseball team coach and 25 other families signed. “GroupCard is such an easy, flexible, and unique way to send teacher gifts and coach thank-you cards. I love that you can upload photos of the team or use the clip art to personalize each individual signature. The kids loved using the different fonts. I never thought of online cards as personal until I used GroupCard.”

Using the gift card feature is also proving to be an easy, efficient way to collect contributions to a gift from the team. “Using GroupCard saved the hassle of collecting checks and organizing people to sign a physical card,” mentioned Susie.

Many of the parents ordered the printable pdf not only for the coach, but for themselves as well. Susie “loved looking back at the funny pictures and reading what the kids wrote.”

Luke, a student and the creator of a GroupCard for his teacher, told us, “I found out about GroupCard through a friend who created a birthday GroupCard for a friend. I am the president of a student organization NC State University and wanted all of our officers to sign a card for our faculty advisor. GroupCard made it simple and convenient for everyone to sign. It also provides a great way to go back and easily view the card."

In living color - Now you can get your GroupCard Printed! (BETA)

Every day we get a handful of awesome emails from users asking... er BEGGING for a printed GroupCard. We never expected such big demand! After quite a bit of trial and error (and sadly killing a few trees) we've finally come up with a way to offer printed cards. Our first try is a rough beta, but we think you'll love the final product!

Visit our print page to learn more about how you can choose from three different options

1) "Poster Card" These cards make a real impression! For this solution, we print your card out on high quality poster paper, and send it to you in a roll. It's great for displaying your GroupCard on the wall in your cubicle, office, room, garage, or (if you're really popular and have a lot of signatures) along the side of a school bus! Rich (our Chief Creative Officer) actually does this all by hand, so you're sure to get a high quality product with great attention to detail! Current charge is $14.99, though if you have a HUGE card, we may need to charge you more.

2) "Flip Book"


Perfect for passing around at a party, for a coffee table, or just keeping handy in the bookshelf. This option is slightly more expen$ive b/c we use a third party provider. Current charge is $24.99

3) "DIY"




For this, we send you a pdf file that you can basically print out on your own printer at home or the office. It is great if you need the card NOW, or if you just want something quick and easy to keep on your desk. Current charge is $4.99, and this is to help us cover some extra software and computing work that this rendering requires.
